Buckhorn Exchange

November 2, 2025

Easily one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Our waiter, Casey, was well-versed on the menu options, and his preferences and suggestions for preparation were on point. We started with gator bites and buffalo sausage, both were fantastic, and came with great dips. I went with elk and quail, and my lady went with the buffalo prime rib. The meat was 10/10. Juicy, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and it melted in your mouth. The atmosphere was great and there is so much history. Would definitely recommend.

Dined here for dinner after receiving a recommendation from a local. It was a fantastic experience and exactly what my boyfriend and I were looking for. The atmosphere was so unique without feeling like it was trying too hard. Staff were all very attentive and ensured we never had an empty glass or dirty table. We received a complimentary bread basket, which was perfect while waiting on our entree. The steak was AMAZING. We split “The Big Steak” for two, which came with two salads and two sides. This was an experience as well, as our server cut the 24 oz steak right at our table! We rounded out the meal with a slice of cheesecake which was served with a raspberry sauce and ever so decadent. The pile highly recommend dining here, especially for a celebratory dinner when looking for something nice.

I will say right off the bat, this is one of the more unique restaurants that you can visit almost anywhere. There’s a lot of history here and just walking around inside gives you a museum feel. We were a group of about 14 and had a wonderful waitress. We got to try out most of the menu due to the size of our group and what I’d say is try what you think might be good. I enjoyed the bison and quail the most but other people in my group had their favorites. They have quite a bit of unique items if that’s your thing. Loved my time here and I’d recommend this place to anyone coming to Denver. Some items were a bit too fried where you couldn’t taste the underlying meat but everything was still good. There were a lot of highlights which made up for some dishes which were not my thing. Looking forward to my next visit!

Our trip to the Buckhorn Exchange was fun overall! Very cool taxidermy animals all over the restaurant. Fun historical place that is the first bar in Denver I rate the food 3 stars because it was rather average and the meat was a bit overdone and dry. There are some cool things to try like rocky mountain oysters, and various different meats like Buffalo, Elk and Quail.

This is both great dining and a great experience. I would say more the experience to be honest. First time here, I would suggest reservations. The place is packed with history and things to see. Many different levels and dining areas, bar areas, and just cool little alcoves. Service was fast and friendly, the food was excellent. It is pretty expensive to dine here. You definitely are paying for the experience. But when in Denver it is one of those "must dine here at least once places" for sure.
